Download iOS 6.1.3 IPSW for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch [Direct Links]

After several beta versions alongside the quick bug fixes that came in the form of iOS 6.1.1 and iOS 6.1.2, the Cupertino company has officially released iOS 6.1.3 for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. What are the most important things you should know about iOS 6.1.3?

One thing you should know about iOS 6.1.3 is that it is a fairly minor update. According to the official change log, it includes improvements to Maps for Japanese users. Apple is doing their best to improve the iOS 6 Maps experience, and this is just one those steps. The other update has something to do with security. There existed a security flaw that enables one to bypass the lockscreen and access the Phone app. With iOS 6.1.3, you don't have to worry about this security flaw anymore as it has been patched.

As you can see, there is not much to expect with regards to the changes and improvements included in iOS 6.1.3. However, it is worth downloading just for the security updates alone. If you are in Japan, then the improvements for Maps is also a nice bonus. iOS 6.1.3 should be an instant download for non-jailbroken devices. If you're jailbroken, then it's a no-brainer that iOS 6.1.3 will likely kill your jailbreak.
